I mean, beyond the already established couples, which romantic pairs of M:EM characters do you find interesting or you'd just want to read about? The answer doesn't have to involve your characters, and I'm not talking about "there might have been something once", like with Nasina and Nasperge.

Oh.

To answer honestly, I really haven't thought about it much. There was a time I had sort of considered Daneera+Denner, but even by the end of The War of the Wheel, and long before I conceived of Kerik, I had decided that didn't really work. I could get behind an Ellia+Raiker ship; I've thought of that as a possibility before. If shipping referred to platonic friendship, I'd be all about a Gale/Daneera, and it could maybe work as an actual ship. Maybe Ilyta+The Historian could have worked as a severe age mismatch, so maybe if he ever stops doing the Time Warp again...

I think this one has been brought up before, but I would ship Kahr/Jinsen, potentially. Jinsen seems fairly asexual these days, although he was married at one point and does, in fact, have a son, so this one might be dead in the water.

Raiker+Kimberley. Now Ruwin's mad at me...

I could see Lumina+Raef. Maybe Orida+Renn? Assuming Renn gets away from Vasilias, of course.

Shifter+Duchess. Now Barinellos isn't talking to me...

Sava Pith+Donagut could work in a weird way, but I don't think either of them would stick around the relationship for long. The Smart Ass in me wanted to say Ygraine/Maral, but probably not.

Raef is a beefcake.

No, my revenge is in planting the image of a dead inside living flesh mannequin in bed with a protean, and probably be-tentacled, lothario in your head.You're welcome.

I should have expected that

Shipping usually involves romance, though Homestucks borrowed terms for things like "platonic life mates" and "erotic arch-rivalry" from an alien culture so it's not so clean cut nowadays.

Huh. I certainly can see the Kahr part; as you say, Jinsen's current behavior doesn't seem too open to romantic options.

Are we still talking about romance? Isn't Renn pretty young, mentally speaking?

To be fair, Kahr develops a crush on most guys he hangs around with for any length of time. Fisco escaped his attentions, and I don't think he ever really hit on Antine, though he might have. So if Kahr were to hang out with Jinsen, he'd probably be into a ship with him.

To misappropriate an internet meme, "I would put them on a boat," which I have just now decided is the platonic version of "I ship them." And we do know that Gale is sensitive to the distinction between ships and boats!

Kidding aside for a second, Syl & Chardis/Hush-Hush is maybe number one on my list of "oh, God, I hope they never, ever meet" M:EM encounters, because, whenever I even think about it, I just have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that Syl & Chardis would try to separate the husher twins, as some sick sort of game to see what would happen to them when they're cut off from each other.

Something like the scene in "3:15 to Dayko," only worse. Which is saying something, since that was already bad enough.
